WTF is up with Vimeo and their new upload limit? I'm not paying $59.00 a year...

Anyway, here's why everybody should avoid stock wheel studs...

[Cody Powell]

That sucked! Better to lose it there, instead of big bend!!

I said the exact same thing!

Whose tire is in front of you Rock?

As DW sings...."you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."

Umm...that would be mine.

New hubs: $130. New Moroso studs & lugnuts: $60. All things considered, I got pretty damn lucky.

I wouldn't use Moroso studs if they paid me. Of all the failures like yours that I have seen, the vast majority were Moroso's.
There should be a rule that only ARP's are allowed.

Agreed no Morosos. Does the Moroso packaging still say not to use with spacers? Use ARP, see if Donovan Racing has the Mustang spec studs for ya. If, not, give Baer Brakes a call.

Sam has the bit to ream the new hubs, and I have borrowed that bit and am set up to do this if you need. I just finished two for Tilton and two for myself, including the Marshal Mosty how-to on the synthetic grease re-pack. Let me know if you want and I'll fix you up a pair with ARP's for $190. The hubs are SRW's (Koyo bearing) from NAPA, or I can use your old ones if you ship them to me.

I'll also agree on giving the Morosos the float test. Cheap material with a brittle heat treat to get "strength" combined with cut rather than rolled threads to amplify the stress risers. They are a disaster waiting to happen...
